River Falls.
Special to the Globe.
BLACK RIVER FALLS. Wis, April 12.-Last
winter ID. j. Spaulding, of this city, con-
structed new dam across Black river at this
place, about thirty feet lower down the river
than the old one, and high enough to raise
the water in the river above it some three
feet higher than the old one but he neglected
to reinforce and strengthen an old bulkhead
so called, which had closed up a chute near
the right bank of the river, and which was
built about the time of the building OF the
old Cam years ago. The rise of water occa-
stoned by the building of the new dam
created an immense additional pressure upon
the old bulkhead. All these facts are now
made apparent by the rains at the head wa
ters of Black river night before last The
water of the river commenced raising yester-
day afternoon, and continued to gradually
increase until about 10 o'clock last night
when the bulkhead was swept out and the
rushing and foaming waters went splashing
through the chute. The power used for the
electric lights of the city was flooded and
THE LIGHTS EXTINGUISHED.
The Office of the Price Manufacturing COM
pany was swept from its foundation and car
ried about half mile below, where it lodged
upon sand bar. 1t has been to-day secured
by cables. The east pier of the western iron
bridge has been undermined, ,and the east end
of the bridge lowered so as to become i'm
passable. Our city is literally cut off from the
depot. and the trains stop on the west side. of
the river to receive and deliver the mail and
for other purposes. The long wooden bridge
on Market street, between Johnson and Olive
streets, has been swept away. The factory
of the Price Manufacturing company has been
greatly damaged, while the Touring and feed
mill or d. j. Spaulding is surrounded by the
surg1ng waters. At this writing large force
of men have succeeded in partially stopping
the flow of water through the bulkhead. If
they succeed in fully closing off the bulkhead
there will probably no more damage be done.
unless the waters in the river are raised by an
increase Strain, which now seems probable.
The damage already done is variously esti-
mated at from $4,000 to $4,000.

CHICAGO, April 12.-Mrs. Antoinette Esans

alleged. was the result of a criminal NAL

from the theater in the evening with her
husband, she was taken suddenly ill, and ad-
mitted that three days before she had SUBJ
mitted to an operation. During that night
she suffered severely, and the next day Mr..
Evans called in DrS. A. III. and j. NJ. Cooke

suffering from periuonitis. All that could be
done for her was done, but on Sunday morn
ing the unfortunate woman died. Before her
death Mrs. Evans admitted to the physicians
attending her that her condition was the re-
suit of an operation, but who aad performed
it she would not tell. She said she went to
doctor on the West side ON the recommends
tion of her landlady, Mrs. Beid who also lives

companied her, she said, when the operation
was performed On Sunday, after Mrs.

who introduced himself as DR.. H. A. Clarke,
of No. 236 South Halsted street, called at the
Office Of the Drs. Cooke and offered to pay

man and pay the funeral expenses. He ad-
mitted that he was the doctor who had per-
formed the operation. He came here on

An article appeared in the issue

which the Rose Hill Base Ball Club
denied our right to hold the cham
pion banner OF Termllion parish,
and also endeavorel to prove the
validity Of their own claim by re,
questing the public to review the
past and see them Triumphant in
every game played with ns on the
Rose Hill grounds.
After accusing us Of being more
expert in welding a lDmbaslic
goose quill than in ball tossing, aud
saying other things both to their
own glory and our detriment, they
close thus: "We could say more,
bnt refrain from principles of mod
csty." Now, it strikes us ,ha. it is
"A peculiar sort of modesty, sncl as

which will allow one 70 be so exult-

fact thai they once played 9 game
with the Abbevilies. on the Able

were required by them to get to LIST
base, and six to score a run; nor did
they state that IN one of the two
games played on their own grounds
The score was contested, that the
Abbey;l|es claimed, and stiil claim
that one of their runs was not
scored. which. if i, had been, would
have tied the game.
However, none of the games

siugle delegate directly interested in

mercial iodu]ges in little private
mod.sIinging at our much abused
executive. A very small amount of
trouble or work, little inyestiga-
tIon on the part Of the Lake Charles

proprie'crs some very valuable ptin-
,er's ink. and valuable space in It's
columns, to say nothing Of the morti.

that he has abused the Governor

perhaps, regarding the appointment

make no pretensions of being
either an influential or representative

western Louisiana | feel pride and
take deep interest in everything that
would have tendency to improve
this section, and thus may a'so claim
to be indirectly interested in the
Improvement Of the Mermentau,
Calcasien and Sabine rivers.
Perhaps. however, the Lake Charles
Commercial may thiuk the Governor
has made mistake in selecting
plain country bnmpkin" of Yer
million instead of a representative
citizen of Calcasieu as a delegate
to the Waterways Convention. and
may attempt to explain the selection
on the grounds of personal" ap.
pointments. Permit me, Mr.. Editor,
to say in advance Of such an idea,
that Governor McEncry knows.
from me in person, and through
others, that | lave been in favor of
General Nichols as the Democratic
nominee for the next governor Of

Of snch nomination, because [
must admit that the nominating ~
